It's Wednesday night and we're all exhausted, but we're happily exhausted. The week thus far has been amazing. God's shown himself at each work site.
On Tuesday, one group had the pleasure of helping a woman clean out her cluttered house and reinforcing her sagging floors. Another group is helping a woman who hopes to move back into her childhood home here in Dulac. It is currently unfinished due to past hurricane damage. Continued work from last year is being done on one family's house. This year we've put in new windows, painted rooms, and are currently working on her deck. Tuesday night consisted of a movie night for the community of Dulac. A group spent most of the day setting up a local gym for the event. We had face painting, games for kids, an inflatable, snacks, door prizes, and the movie Courageous. We had about 50 attendees. Everyone there was someone FUMC has come into personal contact with over the past several years. It was great to see our group of friends growing.
Wednesday was a day with a late start. We were all exhausted from the night before, and so we slept in a little. Rain also contributed to our slow start. That being said, we still got a lot of work done. We returned to yesterday's job sites. We saw a lot of progress in all situations.
On both Tuesday and Wednesday, we visited the woman who loves apples, people, and Jesus. We sent a minstrel choir of our team's children to her house and we were happy to see her joyful, tear-filled reaction.
The trip has been a joy so far, and we can't wait to finish all we've started,
